Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Soyinka introduces his family and acquaintances, and shows how traditions are reshaped to fit modern times. "This semi-fictionalized, multigenerational family saga by the Nigerian novelist-poet-dramatist Nobel laureate is rich with the sights, sounds and textures of his native land under colonial rule," praised PW.
